Transcript:
(00:05) ladies and gentlemen I’m tats Nakayama Japanese lawyer I’m highly honored to be given this precious opportunity to speak at irf Summit I have been representing family Federation though I’m not a Believer since the assassination of EX prime minister Abbe with my experience I learned a lot and today I’m going to share with you why the family Federation in Japan not be dissolved in three points number one political fight which is going beneath the legal issues paning in Japan number two deprogramming which is also hidden
(00:46) underneath and number point three I will conclude that there should be no requirement for dissolution of the family Federation Point number one political and ideological fight has been ongoing in Japan from way back before in 1978 Japan Communist Party declared war on anti-communist unification church evidencing this couple of months after AB assassination when commented by a famous journalist that oh this conflict should be a final war against the unification church then in response to this Communist Party chairperson Kaz oi
(01:30) admitted that final war and added that this time we will do whatever it takes to until we get it down with such strong Wars leftwing parties have been aggressively fought against family Federation and along with this political movement in Japan leftwing lawyers have been very aggressive and very influential among mass media and also the Japanese government they are anti religious many are communist and started a dissolution campaign in 1987 meaning in order to dissolve family Federation Japanese family Federation we
(02:16) will do whatever and they worked with notorious deprogrammers who deprogrammed as you may not believe as many as 4,300 poor family Federation believers and block the faith of many top two gentlemen of this leftwing lawyers are hiroi in the left and masako current leader in the right they are lawyers but they could be called as political figures or political activists because they even knew that at the time of the commencement of this political fight there were no victims meaning even though there are no legal
(03:05) victims they continue to argue to create victims and made many lawsuits for refund of donations made by Believers representing AP States despite such political campaign as a loyer legally speaking I do not think there is a requirement for the solution because in Japan the legal requirement for dissolution of the religious Corporation is very high article 81 of the religious Corporation act says religious corporations can be dissolved only if they if they commit an act which is clearly found to harm Public Welfare extremely which is very
(03:54) high criteria and there in violation of laws and regulations those in R here has been debated so much after AB assassination because according to case laws in Japan laws here have been limited to only criminal laws which means in order to dissolve rious Corporation criminal law must be broken on the other hand in the present case of family Federation since its foundation about 60 years ago no criminal law has been broken which means there is no legal reason to dissolve family Federation indeed our prime minister
(04:40) kishida admitted that case law and said as a diet on October 18 2022 he said only criminal laws should be included which means at that time the government did not intend to fire a disolution suit against family Federation however very surprisingly and very strangely enough he did 180 he changed his mind completely in one single night and said the next day that civil laws can be included which means that civil lawsuits fight against family Federation and they lost some which could be another reason for dissolution of the
(05:28) Federation which became are start to proceed for dissolution suit of the Federation however legally speaking many of such lawsuits against family Federation we see puppet connections we can call it forc puppet lawsuits what happened is like this the programmers in consultation with leting lawyers they programmed as many as 4,000 plus Believers and they forced the poor believer to fight a lawsuit against family Federation for donation refund saying like this unless you fight a lawsuit we continue to take you as mind
(06:12) controlled by Family Federation so do F action against family Federation otherwise we will continue to confine you impr you for the programming and in order to make money for legal fee they continued leftwing lawyers contined this circle as an ecosystem this ecosystem we can find in graph here let L here number of 4,000 deprogramming came to a peak after communist party’s declaration of war against the unification church and leftwing lawyers political campaign what follows is blue line here number of lawsuits filed against family
(07:03) Federation from this visible intimate correlation between red and blue you can note many of the lawsuits against family Federation are made or are forced as puppet using the programmingsoftware skinny gentleman here who suffered very long time 12 years confinement and who fight a lawsuit against deprogrammer and won a victory at the Supreme Court of Japan indeed very unfortunately such forced puppet lawsuits caused disolution suit pending in Japan historically speaking the programming lasted 50 years in Japan and some of them are made for
(08:02) forc puppet lawsuits which could be one of the main reason for the dision suit panic in Japan but after a careful legal analysis we found that more than half 55 4% of the plaintiffs are poor deprogrammed victims with this in mind I don’t believe family Federation should be dissolved I will wrap up in one page what is going now in Japan is a disu suit against family Federation main reason is many lawsuits filed against family Federation initiated by leftwing lawyers but what lies underneath is another framework P which is 4,000
(08:49) unhuman deprogramming indeed Japan has rejected dis solution so many times demanding left-wing lawyers requested for disolution of family Federation to the government many times 30 years ago government rejected two times and recently Tokyo District Court also rejected to dissolve the family fation and in the course of this family Federation issued a declaration of compliance intended to improve their internal operation which actually worked evidencing this and this recent SE seven years no single lawsuit has been filed against family
(09:37) Federation with this I hope you will be convinced that there is no requirement for the solution I will conclude in one page for many Federation in Japan has not committed any crimes in the 60 years in the loss in some civil lawsuits for defund donation but half of the pl is what programmed and that they impoved compliance recently in this 15 years thank you for your attention most of what I shared is written in my booklet published last year in Japan and English translation of which you can find in B Winter thank you
(10:19) again lastly I strong hope that with a kind attention and kind support of you this distinguished guest and honorable Minds at irf Summit religious freedom of Japan should be protected at any cost thank you very much
